Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Oakhanger without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Oakhanger
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Oakhanger is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you work in Oakhanger?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Oakhanger. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Oakhanger
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 much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Oakhanger
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Oakhanger
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

- A coating lifting around the plughole

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

- How your room will be protected
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
