Bath re-enamelling in Ovington, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ovington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Ovington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ovington?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ovington?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
