Bath re-enamelling in Cote without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Cote
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work in Cote?
We do. Technicians travel to Cote from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cote. Prices do not change with location.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common problems we fix in Cote
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cote
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cote use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
