The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Botley without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Botley?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Botley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Botley questions
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you work in Botley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Botley and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Botley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
