About our bath re-enamelling in Cow Hill
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Cow Hill
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
FAQs for Cow Hill
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Cow Hill?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
