About our bath re-enamelling in Cottown
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cottown, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Cottown?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
