How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Cross
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for St Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in St Cross
Do you come to St Cross?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to St Cross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St Cross
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in St Cross, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
