Bath re-enamelling in Trickett's Cross, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we’re called out for in Trickett's Cross
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Trickett's Cross questions
Are there extra charges for Trickett's Cross?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Trickett's Cross?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the whole UK
- Fixed prices from your photos

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
