Bath Re-enamelling for Cutteslowe homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Cutteslowe: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cutteslowe
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Cutteslowe, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually 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. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cutteslowe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Cutteslowe
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
