About our bath re-enamelling in Cotesbach
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Cotesbach
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
