Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newnham Murren
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Bath re-enamelling in Newnham Murren, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newnham Murren and across Oxfordshire.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When to call us in Newnham Murren
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
