What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Crawleyside. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Crawleyside

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crawleyside and across County Durham.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Crawleyside

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Materials we work on in Crawleyside

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Crawleyside

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
