Bath re-enamelling in Oakenholt without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Oakenholt and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
