Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cromdale

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What affects the price in Cromdale

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Cromdale questions

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cromdale?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cromdale?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally cheaper.
