Trusted bath re-enamelling in Crews Hill

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crews Hill

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Crews Hill: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Crews Hill?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What we’re called out for in Crews Hill

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Crews Hill

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EN2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Most clients in Crews Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Crews Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
