How we handle bath re-enamelling in Balscote
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Balscote, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Balscote
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Balscote
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Balscote and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we are called out for in Balscote
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
