Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

When to call us in Crawford

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Repair or replace in Crawford?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Crawford: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Crawford.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in Crawford
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Crawford, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
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’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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 get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
