Bath Re-enamelling for Kencot homes
Problem with your bath in Kencot? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bath re-enamelling in Kencot without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kencot?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered

What else we do in Kencot
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Repairing versus replacing in Kencot
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Most customers in Kencot get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kencot. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Kencot questions
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Kencot included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
