About our bath re-enamelling in Crawley Down
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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Crawley Down
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Crawley Down
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we’re called out for in Crawley Down
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
FAQs for Crawley Down
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
