How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Stains that won’t shift

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Coldwell

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Common questions in Coldwell

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you come to Coldwell?

We do. We send a technician to Coldwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Coldwell

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Coldwell. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Coldwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
