  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

  • How long it needs to cure

  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling in Cotebrook, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cotebrook

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Cotebrook: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CW6 postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Get a quote

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Cotebrook get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
