Bath re-enamelling for Cruxton homes

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Bath re-enamelling in Cruxton, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Cruxton?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Cruxton clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Questions from Cruxton

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.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Cruxton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cruxton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Cruxton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cruxton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cruxton

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish
