How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cooper's Corner

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Cooper's Corner

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cooper's Corner. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Cooper's Corner

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Repairing versus replacing in Cooper's Corner

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Cooper's Corner clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
