Bath re-enamelling in Charlbury without replacing anything

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Charlbury. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: 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.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Charlbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Charlbury questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
