Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cross
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cross

Common reasons people in Cross contact us include:

- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
