Bath re-enamelling in Marston without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Landlord and trade work in Marston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from Marston
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marston?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 typically cheaper.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath re-enamelling

- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
