Bath re-enamelling at your home in Crapstone
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Crapstone
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Crapstone. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Crapstone questions
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When to call us in Crapstone
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Crapstone
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
