Cold Harbour: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Cold Harbour?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cold Harbour
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cold Harbour
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common problems we fix in Cold Harbour
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
