Bath re-enamelling at your home in Heath End

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Heath End: your questions answered

Do you come to Heath End?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Heath End. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Heath End?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Heath End

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
