About our bath re-enamelling in Cross Green
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
FAQs for Cross Green
Do you work in Cross Green?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cross Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cross Green
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
