Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowcliffe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
For anyone letting property in or around Cowcliffe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Bath re-enamelling in Cowcliffe without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cowcliffe
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

- Aftercare advice
