Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cross
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Cross
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Cross
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What we’re called out for in Cross
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
