About our bath re-enamelling in Ellesmere
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ellesmere
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel 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. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ellesmere
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Ellesmere?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Ellesmere
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Ellesmere
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ellesmere. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ellesmere. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
