About our bath re-enamelling in Crofton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Crofton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that won’t shift

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Crofton

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Crofton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Crofton

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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