Trusted bath re-enamelling in Crow End

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Bath re-enamelling in Crow End without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Crow End

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crow End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Crow End

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Crow End

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Crow End?

We do. We send a technician to Crow End for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Crow End. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Crow End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
