Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kingston Stert
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kingston Stert
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Kingston Stert and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kingston Stert?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
