Bath re-enamelling in Covington, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Covington. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace in Covington?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Covington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Covington: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Covington?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PE28 postcode.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Covington?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
