About our bath re-enamelling in Broad Oak
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
What affects the price in Broad Oak
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Broad Oak
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Broad Oak?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
