Common questions in Golden Cross
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Golden Cross.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Golden Cross
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Golden Cross, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
