About our bath re-enamelling in Cotton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

What we are called out for in Cotton

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotton
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Cotton customers choose us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Cotton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
