Bath re-enamelling in Oakley without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Oakley?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Oakley
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Oakley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What else we do in Oakley
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
