About our bath re-enamelling in Shilton

Common questions in Shilton
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You do not 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.

Common problems we fix in Shilton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repairing versus replacing in Shilton
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

- One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Shilton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
