About our bath re-enamelling in Cooksbridge

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Cooksbridge

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

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

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cooksbridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Cooksbridge: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Cooksbridge?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

We do. Technicians travel to Cooksbridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
