About our bath re-enamelling in Broken Cross

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Broken Cross questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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