Bath re-enamelling in Cottam 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. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Cottam
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cottam. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Cottam
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottam as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Cottam: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cottam?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What else we do in Cottam
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
