Bath re-enamelling in High Cross without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What else we do in High Cross
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in High Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in High Cross
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in High Cross
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What affects the price in High Cross
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for High Cross. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
