Bath re-enamelling in Crockleford Heath, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Crockleford Heath
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Crockleford Heath. Prices don’t change with location.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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 we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
When to call us in Crockleford Heath
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
