Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Oakham without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Oakham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Oakham?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace in Oakham?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Common questions in Oakham
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Oakham. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
