A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chalgrove

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Chalgrove included. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chalgrove as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
