Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Arncott?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Arncott
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

What affects the price in Lower Arncott
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

The process

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
