Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
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 any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What affects the price in Lower Shiplake
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Shiplake?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
