Bath re-enamelling at your home in Postcombe

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Postcombe

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Are there extra charges for Postcombe?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Postcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we are called out for in Postcombe

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
