About our bath re-enamelling in Crosby

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we’re called out for in Crosby

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
