Bath re-enamelling in Oare without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Oare

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oare. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Oare

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
