About our bath re-enamelling in Cross Gate
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cross Gate
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Cross Gate?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Cross Gate questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you work in Cross Gate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cross Gate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
