Bath re-enamelling in Cottered without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cottered
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cottered
Can you price it without visiting?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cottered. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Cottered
When to call us in Cottered
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
