Cowfold questions
What happens after I send pictures?

How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
About our bath re-enamelling in Cowfold
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Cowfold
What affects the price in Cowfold
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cowfold. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RH13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
