Bath re-enamelling for Botley homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Botley

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Botley: your questions answered

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Botley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HP5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Botley

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
