How the visit works

- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Bath re-enamelling in Copshaw Holm without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Copshaw Holm: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Copshaw Holm?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TD9 postcode.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Copshaw Holm. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Copshaw Holm, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- Everything repaired in place

Common problems we fix in Copshaw Holm
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
