Bath re-enamelling at your home in Coldblow
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Coldblow questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Are there extra charges for Coldblow?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Coldblow
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Coldblow
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
