If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Bath re-enamelling in Hinton Waldrist, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Hinton Waldrist
Hinton Waldrist: your questions answered
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you work in Hinton Waldrist?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hinton Waldrist for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Hinton Waldrist?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlord and trade work in Hinton Waldrist
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
