Bath re-enamelling at your home in Oakley
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Oakley
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Oakley?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RG23 postcode.
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.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you change the colour of my bath?

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Oakley
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oakley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Oakley
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
