For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Bath re-enamelling in Cowers Lane without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Questions from Cowers Lane
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cowers Lane?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we are called out for in Cowers Lane
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

- Cast iron baths

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
