About our bath re-enamelling in Shrivenham
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Shrivenham
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Shrivenham
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work

What affects the price in Shrivenham
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shrivenham. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Shrivenham: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shrivenham?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SN6 postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Shrivenham.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Shrivenham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
