Bath re-enamelling in Lewknor, done in place
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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Lewknor questions
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Lewknor. Prices do not change with location.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Lewknor, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
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 much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
