Bath re-enamelling at your home in Crowell

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Crowell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Crowell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Crowell

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common problems we fix in Crowell

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Crowell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Crowell questions

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Crowell and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you come to Crowell?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Crowell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
