Bath re-enamelling in Crank without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

More services for Crank
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we are called out for in Crank
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
