Bath re-enamelling in Cothill without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Cothill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cothill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cothill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cothill?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Repairing versus replacing in Cothill
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Cothill
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are there extra charges for Cothill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cothill.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OX13 postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
