Bath re-enamelling at your home in Upper Cotton
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
FAQs for Upper Cotton
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Cotton

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
