Cross Lanes questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you come to Cross Lanes?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cross Lanes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
