Bath re-enamelling at your home in Crossbank
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
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.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Landlord and trade work in Crossbank

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common questions in Crossbank
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Crossbank get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
