Bath re-enamelling in Cogenhoe, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cogenhoe and across Northamptonshire.

What else we do in Cogenhoe
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Cogenhoe
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you work in Cogenhoe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cogenhoe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cogenhoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Cogenhoe
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
