Bath re-enamelling in Queen's Cross, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Queen's Cross

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Queen's Cross

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Queen's Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common problems we fix in Queen's Cross

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Queen's Cross

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you work in Queen's Cross?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Queen's Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
