How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oakmere
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
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 no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Oakmere
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Oakmere. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Oakmere?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Questions from Oakmere
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When to call us in Oakmere
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
