Bath re-enamelling in Crewe Toll

Bath re-enamelling in Crewe Toll, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Crewe Toll, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

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 check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Crewe Toll?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for these signs:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Crewe Toll

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
