Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Thrupp, Oxfordshire

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thrupp
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Thrupp
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Thrupp included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you cover Thrupp?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thrupp for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thrupp?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
