Bath re-enamelling at your home in Frodesley
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
Should you replace it?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions from Frodesley
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Shropshire.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Frodesley?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Landlord and trade work in Frodesley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frodesley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
