What affects the price in Cottesmore
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cottesmore. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Bath re-enamelling in Cottesmore, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Cottesmore
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottesmore as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Cottesmore

Cottesmore questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
