Bath re-enamelling in Cottesbrooke without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Cottesbrooke: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cottesbrooke?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Landlord and trade work in Cottesbrooke
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cottesbrooke
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
