FAQs for Crossens
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Crossens?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Crossens for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
About our bath re-enamelling in Crossens
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Crossens
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
