Landlords, agents and businesses in Crockernwell
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crockernwell
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Crockernwell?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What affects the price in Crockernwell
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Crockernwell
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are there extra charges for Crockernwell?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
