DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Boars Hill
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. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Boars Hill
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We do not add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Boars Hill
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Boars Hill?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Boars Hill.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Boars Hill?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Boars Hill
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
