Bath re-enamelling in Cookley Green, done in place
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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cookley Green as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Cookley Green
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What else we do in Cookley Green
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
