Bath re-enamelling in Brackley without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Brackley
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you come to Brackley?
We do. We send a technician to Brackley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Brackley
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Brackley
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
