Bath re-enamelling in Upper Basildon without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after 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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

What affects the price in Upper Basildon

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Basildon

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Upper Basildon

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
