Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Draycott
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Draycott, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we’re called out for in Draycott
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Draycott contact us are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
