Bath Re-enamelling for Cotman's Ash homes
Damaged bath in Cotman's Ash? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in Cotman's Ash without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cotman's Ash. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cotman's Ash. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
