When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Oaks Tye
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Oaks Tye?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repairing versus replacing in Oaks Tye
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Oaks Tye. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Oaks Tye questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Oaks Tye. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
