Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crantock
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Crantock questions
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Crantock
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Crantock clients choose us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
