Bath re-enamelling in Oakridge, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot 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.
Repair or replace in Oakridge?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Oakridge
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Oakridge. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
