Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for High Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

Bath re-enamelling at your home in High Cross
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. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
High Cross questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you come to High Cross?
We do. We send a technician to High Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When to call us in High Cross
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for High Cross. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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.
