Bath re-enamelling for Crook Log homes

Bath re-enamelling in Crook Log, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crook Log and across Greater London.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Crook Log questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

What affects the price in Crook Log

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Crook Log

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Common reasons people in Crook Log contact us include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
