Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Cottingham. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
About our bath re-enamelling in Cottingham
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Cottingham
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cottingham?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Cottingham contact us are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions from Cottingham
Do you work in Cottingham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cottingham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
