How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cropston

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 an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Cropston clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Cropston questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cropston, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Cropston

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
