What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Twelve Oaks

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are there extra charges for Twelve Oaks?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Twelve Oaks. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

If you’re in Twelve Oaks and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
