Bath re-enamelling in Oxlode

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Oxlode, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Oxlode?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Common reasons people in Oxlode contact us are:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Oxlode. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Oxlode

Are there extra charges for Oxlode?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is it messy?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Oxlode?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
