Bath re-enamelling in Crowfield

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crowfield

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crowfield and across Suffolk.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Crowfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Crowfield

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Advice

Crowfield questions

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IP6 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
