Upper Heyford questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What we’re called out for in Upper Heyford
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Heyford. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually cheaper.
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.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
