About our bath re-enamelling in Maple Cross
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Maple Cross clients choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Maple Cross
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Maple Cross. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Maple Cross
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Maple Cross
