Bath re-enamelling at your home in Islip
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material

Islip questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Islip?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX5 postcode.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
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.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
