How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cotes Heath
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 regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cotes Heath. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common problems we fix in Cotes Heath
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
