Bath re-enamelling for Ogbourne St Andrew homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ogbourne St Andrew

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. 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. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Ogbourne St Andrew

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Ogbourne St Andrew?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ogbourne St Andrew. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ogbourne St Andrew. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

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

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
