How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Barrington
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Common questions in Little Barrington
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Little Barrington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Little Barrington
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
