How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cottown
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in Cottown
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Cottown
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Cottown
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from Cottown
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
