How it works
There’s 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, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Crouch without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Crouch
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Crouch: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Crouch?
We do. We send a technician to Crouch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Crouch and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repairing versus replacing in Crouch
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
