Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Oxley Green, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Oxley Green questions
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Oxley Green.
Are there extra charges for Oxley Green?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace in Oxley Green?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
