Questions from Crossways
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Crossways?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Bath re-enamelling in Crossways without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What else we do in Crossways
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Crossways. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Crossways
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
