10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Criddlestyle

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Questions from Criddlestyle

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Criddlestyle?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Criddlestyle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
