Bath re-enamelling in Oake without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Oake. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Oake, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we’re called out for in Oake
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairing versus replacing in Oake
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
