About our bath re-enamelling in Oldford
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Oldford
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Repairing versus replacing in Oldford
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Oldford?

Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
