Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cross Lanes
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

Cross Lanes: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
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 rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Cross Lanes, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace in Cross Lanes?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we’re called out for in Cross Lanes
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking

- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
