Bath Re-enamelling for Oaksey homes

- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Oaksey, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Oaksey questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Oaksey?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SN16 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Oaksey?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oaksey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Oaksey
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 are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
