What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling in Crofty without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Crofty
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
FAQs for Crofty
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace in Crofty?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair

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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
