When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Steeple Aston

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we’re called out for in Steeple Aston

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish

Questions from Steeple Aston

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

We work UK-wide, so Steeple Aston is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Landlord and trade work in Steeple Aston

For anyone letting property in or around Steeple Aston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
