Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bunkers Hill, Oxfordshire
We travel to Bunkers Hill for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bunkers Hill
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bunkers Hill: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Bunkers Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Bunkers Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
