How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cockwood
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Cockwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Cockwood: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
