We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do you come to Crookhall?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in Crookhall

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crookhall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Crookhall
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Crookhall
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
