Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cotgrave
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cotgrave and across Nottinghamshire.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Cotgrave: your questions answered
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
