Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crofton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Crofton
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace in Crofton?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
