Bath re-enamelling at your home in Oxhey
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Oxhey?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Common problems we fix in Oxhey
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Oxhey contact us are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Oxhey and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Questions from Oxhey
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to Oxhey?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Oxhey. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
