- Wear marks under the taps

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Miles Cross
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

- Point us to the nearest place to park

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Miles Cross?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

FAQs for Miles Cross
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Miles Cross?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Miles Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
