Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mow Cop
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mow Cop, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 pay close attention there.
When to call us in Mow Cop
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mow Cop
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
