How we handle bath re-enamelling in Croft
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Croft
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Croft
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
