Bath re-enamelling in Tiddington without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Tiddington: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tiddington?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace in Tiddington?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tiddington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
