How we handle bath re-enamelling in Henley
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Henley questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Henley.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repair or replace in Henley?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Henley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Henley
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Henley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in Henley
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
