Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shipton-on-Cherwell. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
