Bath re-enamelling in Freeland, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Freeland
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Freeland contact us are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Freeland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
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 is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Freeland: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
