How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oxton
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 basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we’re called out for in Oxton
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oxton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Oxton
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
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 re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
