Bath re-enamelling in Oakford, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Oakford
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What affects the price in Oakford
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Oakford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
