DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bladon
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bladon questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bladon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
