Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Tackley, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Tackley: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Tackley?
We do. Technicians travel to Tackley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
