About our bath re-enamelling in Henley-on-Thames
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
