Bath re-enamelling for Park Town homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Park Town

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Park Town: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Park Town is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Park Town. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Park Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
