How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Abingdon-on-Thames
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Abingdon-on-Thames
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abingdon-on-Thames use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Abingdon-on-Thames?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

Abingdon-on-Thames questions
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
