Repairing versus replacing in Cockley Cley
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cockley Cley
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Cockley Cley
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you come to Cockley Cley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cockley Cley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Common reasons people in Cockley Cley contact us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
