Bath re-enamelling in Cranhill, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Cranhill questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you cover Cranhill?

We do. Technicians travel to Cranhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Cranhill?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Materials we work on in Cranhill

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

When to call us in Cranhill

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
