Bath re-enamelling in Wootton without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire 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, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Wootton: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wootton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wootton?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
