Trusted bath re-enamelling in Crofton

Bath re-enamelling in Crofton without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crofton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Crofton questions

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Crofton?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BR6 postcode.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Crofton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crofton and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Crofton

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

When to call us in Crofton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Crofton

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Crofton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
