Trusted bath re-enamelling in Crosshill

Bath re-enamelling in Crosshill without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Crosshill

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Crosshill. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

The process

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 with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Crosshill

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Crosshill

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
