How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cold Ash
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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Other services in Cold Ash
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Cold Ash. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cold Ash. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cold Ash?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white

Cold Ash: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
