Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Bray Shop, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bray Shop. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Bray Shop

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Repair or replace in Bray Shop?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bray Shop. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Bray Shop

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bray Shop
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to Bray Shop?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bray Shop and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
