Bath re-enamelling for Crockhurst Street homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Crockhurst Street, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What affects the price in Crockhurst Street

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Crockhurst Street. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Crockhurst Street, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Crockhurst Street

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’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
