Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Cowie. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling in Cowie, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Cowie: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cowie?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that will not shift
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
