How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cotton Stones
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Cotton Stones
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common questions in Cotton Stones
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HX6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Cotton Stones?

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
