What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Oughtershaw

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

When to call us in Oughtershaw

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty 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 generally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Oughtershaw

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover Oughtershaw?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Oughtershaw. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Oughtershaw. Prices do not change with location.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
