How we handle bath re-enamelling in Great Tew
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Great Tew questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You do not 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 quote.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Great Tew
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
