What else we do in Oakleigh Park
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Oakleigh Park. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Oakleigh Park questions
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
