DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Oaks Green
- Basins & shower trays

When to call us in Oaks Green
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Oaks Green
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for Oaks Green?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
