Bath Re-enamelling for Hinksey Hill homes
Damaged bath in Hinksey Hill? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hinksey Hill
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Hinksey Hill
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Hinksey Hill
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hinksey Hill. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Hinksey Hill
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Common questions in Hinksey Hill
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
