How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crosscanonby
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
