How bath re-enamelling works in Shropshire

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

What it costs in Shropshire

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What’s near Shrewsbury

Typical jobs here are in homes near St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury High School and The Crown Inn, among other places. Also close by are Wakeman School (less than half a mile south) and Coleham Primary School (less than half a mile south). There is a railway station in Shrewsbury itself: Shrewsbury station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Clive House Museum (less than half a mile south-west) and Darwin Shopping Centre (under half a mile west). For a walk, there’s Bomere Pool and Haughmond Hill.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What affects the price in Shropshire

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shropshire

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
