Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Northmoor, Oxfordshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Northmoor, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in Northmoor, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Northmoor
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
