Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ovingham
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Ovingham
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Ovingham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Questions from Ovingham
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Ovingham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ovingham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
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 it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
