- Resurfacing from £350

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Cronton, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
In a village or hamlet like Cronton, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cronton?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- 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 is seen better days
For older houses around Cronton, near landmarks such as St Basil's Parish Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. For a rural home like those around Cronton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath re-enamelling is one trip.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
Read our Prices page Or Guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere like Cronton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the bath re-enamelling comes with us in one trip.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
