Bath re-enamelling in Oaker Hill without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Oaker Hill
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Oaker Hill?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO9 postcode.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When to call us in Oaker Hill
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Oaker Hill. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
