Common questions in Cox Green
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for Cox Green?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cox Green
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Most customers in Cox Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cox Green?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote

- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
