How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Cross
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We do not add 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.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in West Cross

Common reasons people in West Cross contact us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
