How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cranworth

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Cranworth

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work in Cranworth?

We do. We send a technician to Cranworth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Cranworth is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How soon can you come?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cranworth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Cranworth

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.
