How we handle bath re-enamelling in Croston

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Croston

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Croston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Questions from Croston

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
