Bath re-enamelling in High Cogges, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
