Bath re-enamelling in Little Oakley without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.

When to call us in Little Oakley
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Questions from Little Oakley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Little Oakley?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO12 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Oakley. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Little Oakley?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
