What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Farmoor, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Farmoor

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Farmoor

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Farmoor

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
