When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Fair Oak: your questions answered
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Fair Oak?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Fair Oak?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fair Oak as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
