Our technicians come to Three Legged Cross for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Three Legged Cross. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Three Legged Cross
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace in Three Legged Cross?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Three Legged Cross
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Three Legged Cross?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Landlord and trade work in Three Legged Cross
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Three Legged Cross use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
