Bath re-enamelling at your home in Royal Oak
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Royal Oak?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Royal Oak: your questions answered
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Royal Oak
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Royal Oak. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
