About our bath re-enamelling in Bucknell
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bucknell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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.
What we are called out for in Bucknell
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
FAQs for Bucknell
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bucknell?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your OX27 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
Across the UK, so Bucknell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- 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.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
