How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cottingley
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 are often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. 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 will get a fixed figure.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What affects the price in Cottingley
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Cottingley
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
FAQs for Cottingley
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
