How we handle bath re-enamelling in Croxton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Croxton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Croxton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Croxton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Croxton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Croxton.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Croxton?

Repair or replace in Croxton?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Repairs by material

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Croxton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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