About our bath re-enamelling in East Cowton
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around East Cowton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in East Cowton?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repair or replace in East Cowton?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
