Bath re-enamelling in Oughtibridge, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Oughtibridge
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Oughtibridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
