Bath Re-enamelling for Oxcroft homes
We travel to Oxcroft for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Bath re-enamelling in Oxcroft without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Oxcroft
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Oxcroft questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Oxcroft. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Oxcroft, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
