About our bath re-enamelling in Cofton Hackett
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
FAQs for Cofton Hackett
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cofton Hackett?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Cofton Hackett included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cofton Hackett
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace in Cofton Hackett?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cofton Hackett?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
