Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Crouch. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crouch
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Common questions in Crouch
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Crouch is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Crouch?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are there extra charges for Crouch?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Common problems we fix in Crouch
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What else we do in Crouch
Landlord and trade work in Crouch
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
