Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Letcombe Bassett, Oxfordshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Letcombe Bassett, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Letcombe Bassett
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Letcombe Bassett
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Letcombe Bassett
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Letcombe Bassett
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Letcombe Bassett
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
