How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crowborough

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Crowborough questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crowborough.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens next?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crowborough use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common problems we fix in Crowborough

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we work on in Crowborough

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

What affects the price in Crowborough

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Crowborough. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Crowborough and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
