Do you work in Oakwood?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Oakwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Oakwood
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What else we do in Oakwood
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Oakwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
