Questions from Cropredy
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OX17 postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
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 you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Cropredy without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Cropredy
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Cropredy
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
