Common questions in Coppenhall
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coppenhall
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Coppenhall. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. 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.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
