When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Bath re-enamelling in Crosbost without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
