Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cove, Argyll and Bute
Bath re-enamelling for Cove, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your photos, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cove
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Cove
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we are called out for in Cove
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book

Cove questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cove?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Cove?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cove and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Cove?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
