Bath re-enamelling at your home in Oakley

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Oakley?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakley

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Oakley

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Oakley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
