Bromley Cross questions
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Bath re-enamelling in Bromley Cross without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bromley Cross
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Bromley Cross contact us are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
