Questions from Cowden
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Cowden, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Cowden
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Cowden
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
