Trusted bath re-enamelling in Cowgrove

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling in Cowgrove, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Cowgrove

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Cowgrove

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Should you replace it?

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 much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowgrove

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowgrove use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
