About our bath re-enamelling in Hailey
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hailey, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Hailey
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Hailey and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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 to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
