About our bath re-enamelling in Stoke Row
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
FAQs for Stoke Row
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we’re called out for in Stoke Row
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Stoke Row, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
