About our bath re-enamelling in Cobham
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Common problems we fix in Cobham
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cobham
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Cobham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
