I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Cotford St Luke
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cotford St Luke. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
