Common questions in Horspath
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Bath re-enamelling in Horspath without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Horspath, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in Horspath
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
