Bath re-enamelling in Cottingham, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Cottingham
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cottingham.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you come to Cottingham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cottingham and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What we are called out for in Cottingham
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
