How we handle bath re-enamelling in Croft

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Croft as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Croft

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Croft. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Croft?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

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.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Croft, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Croft use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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