How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cross Lanes
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Cross Lanes?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
