Bath re-enamelling at your home in Garsington
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Garsington as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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’s the part we put right.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Garsington. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Garsington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Garsington questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Garsington?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
