What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alvescot
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Alvescot
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Several chips and rust patches

- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Common questions in Alvescot
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Alvescot. Prices do not change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Alvescot?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
