Bath re-enamelling for Wytham homes

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wytham

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wytham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Wytham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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 if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Wytham

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, 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.

Common problems we fix in Wytham

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wytham. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
