Bath Re-enamelling for Cowpe homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Cowpe and across Lancashire. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cowpe
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cowpe as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cowpe
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it

FAQs for Cowpe
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
