About our bath re-enamelling in Cowley
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Cowley
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- 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.

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cowley. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the whole UK

FAQs for Cowley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
