How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cross Roads

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Cross Roads

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we’re called out for in Cross Roads

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cross Roads

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Cross Roads?

We do. Technicians travel to Cross Roads from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows 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, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace in Cross Roads?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
