About our bath re-enamelling in Crookedholm

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Crookedholm

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Crookedholm

Crookedholm: your questions answered

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Landlord and trade work in Crookedholm

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
