Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cossington

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Cossington

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When to call us in Cossington

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Cossington

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Cossington

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Are there extra charges for Cossington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
