Bath re-enamelling in Crawley, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Landlord and trade work in Crawley
For anyone letting property in or around Crawley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Crawley
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Crawley questions
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Crawley?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Crawley?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode

- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
