Bath Re-enamelling in Cottisford
We travel to Cottisford for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cottisford
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Cottisford
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- 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.
How to prepare

Other services in Cottisford
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
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.
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 Cottisford?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
