How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oxenhall

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Oxenhall

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Oxenhall questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
