We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in South Croxton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

South Croxton questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Are you accredited?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for South Croxton?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Repair or replace in South Croxton?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
