About our bath re-enamelling in Cole's Green
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Cole's Green
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Cole's Green: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Cole's Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Landlord and trade work in Cole's Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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 year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
