Bath re-enamelling near Crawley

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crawley

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Crawley

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white

How to compare quotes

Crawley: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover Crawley?

We do. Technicians travel to Crawley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Crawley and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Crawley. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
