Bath re-enamelling in Crossways, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Crossways?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that will not shift

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Crossways?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Crossways questions

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crossways.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Crossways. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
