Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
About our bath re-enamelling in Kidlington
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kidlington as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Kidlington
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
