How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shorthampton
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. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shorthampton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Shorthampton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Shorthampton
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shorthampton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shorthampton
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shorthampton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
