Bath re-enamelling in Oxford

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oxford

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

When to call us in Oxford

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Oxford questions

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Oxford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Oxford. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
