Book bath re-enamelling in Crosshill

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crosshill

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Crosshill: your questions answered

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are there extra charges for Crosshill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common problems we fix in Crosshill

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Common reasons people in Crosshill contact us are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
