Bath re-enamelling for Crookham homes

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crookham

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Crookham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Crookham clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What affects the price in Crookham

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Crookham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When to call us in Crookham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Questions from Crookham

Will the price change on the day?

Do you work in Crookham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Crookham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
