About our bath re-enamelling in South Hinksey
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in South Hinksey
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What we’re called out for in South Hinksey
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
