Trusted bath re-enamelling in Oxspring

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oxspring

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Oxspring and across Barnsley.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Oxspring: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you work in Oxspring?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oxspring for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Common problems we fix in Oxspring

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a 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. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
