How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oulton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in Oulton
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, 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’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Work done at your home or business

Oulton: your questions answered
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Oulton.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
