Bath re-enamelling in Oxley's Green

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Oxley's Green

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Oxley's Green. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Oxley's Green, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Oxley's Green

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Oxley's Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
