Bath re-enamelling in Crook without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Crook
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What else we do in Crook
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crook
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 generally cheaper.
FAQs for Crook
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Crook?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
