Book bath re-enamelling in Cosby

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Cosby without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cosby and across Leicestershire.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Cosby?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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 until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cosby. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
