Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cresswell
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. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your bath is made of matters
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. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit

Advice
Cresswell: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Cresswell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cresswell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cresswell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Cresswell
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
