Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cotham
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotham
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- Everything repaired in place
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Cotham
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotham
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
