Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Great Holcombe, Oxfordshire
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Great Holcombe and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Great Holcombe without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Great Holcombe
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
