Bath re-enamelling near Cross Green

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

About our bath re-enamelling in Cross Green

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace in Cross Green?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Cross Green

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Common problems we fix in Cross Green

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Cross Green: your questions answered

Do you cover Cross Green?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cross Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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