About our bath re-enamelling in Cowthorpe
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Cowthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Cowthorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowthorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Cowthorpe: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
