When we would advise against a repair

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bath re-enamelling in Oxgangs, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Oxgangs, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Oxgangs?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
