Bath Re-enamelling for Cockernhoe homes

- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cockernhoe
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cockernhoe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cockernhoe. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cockernhoe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Cockernhoe
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Cockernhoe
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cockernhoe?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually 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 check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
