About our bath re-enamelling in Hope Bowdler
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hope Bowdler and across Shropshire.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hope Bowdler, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Hope Bowdler
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair

- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
