Bath Re-enamelling in Crossness
We travel to Crossness for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crossness
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Crossness and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crossness as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Crossness?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
