When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cotness

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When to call us in Cotness

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cotness. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

FAQs for Cotness

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Cotness. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
