Bath re-enamelling in Ascott-under-Wychwood, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Repairing versus replacing in Ascott-under-Wychwood

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Ascott-under-Wychwood

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
