How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oaks in Charnwood
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Oaks in Charnwood: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
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.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Oaks in Charnwood
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 reply with a fixed price.
