Repair or replace: which is better?
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 much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cochrane Park. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cochrane Park

The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cochrane Park
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Cochrane Park?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cochrane Park. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
