About our bath re-enamelling in Crawley Green

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Crawley Green

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • 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

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

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

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Crawley Green

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Crawley Green?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LU2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
