Bath re-enamelling at your home in High Cross Bank
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in High Cross Bank
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift

High Cross Bank: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
