Bath re-enamelling in Old Shotton without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Old Shotton
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Old Shotton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Old Shotton questions
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Old Shotton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
