Landlord and trade work in Cotford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
About our bath re-enamelling in Cotford
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Cotford
Cotford questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Cotford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover Cotford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cotford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Common problems we fix in Cotford
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cotford. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Cotford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
