The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crook
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Crook
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
Landlord and trade work in Crook
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crook use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Crook
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Crook clients choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Questions from Crook
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Crook?
We do. We send a technician to Crook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
