About our bath re-enamelling in Crewe

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Crewe?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Crewe

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Crewe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Crewe

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crewe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
