About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Brailes
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why Lower Brailes clients choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

FAQs for Lower Brailes
Do you work in Lower Brailes?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lower Brailes and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
