How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crookes
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Crookes questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Crookes?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Most clients in Crookes get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
