Questions from Olney
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Olney
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

If you manage property in Olney, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
