Bath re-enamelling in Crewe-by-Farndon

Bath re-enamelling in Crewe-by-Farndon without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
