Bath re-enamelling in Cog, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.

What we are called out for in Cog
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cog: your questions answered
Do you come to Cog?
We do. Technicians travel to Cog from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cog?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
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. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
