Bath re-enamelling for Cotes homes

Questions from Cotes

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cotes.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cotes

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When to call us in Cotes

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cotes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotes

If you manage property in Cotes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotes use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
