About our bath re-enamelling in Wantage
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common questions in Wantage
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
If you’re in Wantage and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Wantage
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Wantage contact us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wantage. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wantage. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
