About our bath re-enamelling in Cock Marling
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Cock Marling
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cock Marling?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Cock Marling
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Cock Marling
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cock Marling. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
