Bath Re-enamelling in Beckford Cross

Bath re-enamelling in Beckford Cross, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beckford Cross use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Beckford Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Beckford Cross questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
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?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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, and the outside can be refinished too.
