Bath Re-enamelling in Cross Street
Damaged bath in Cross Street? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cross Street
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 normally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cross Street
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
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.
Questions from Cross Street
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What we are called out for in Cross Street
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps 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.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
