Bath re-enamelling in Pontesbury without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Pontesbury
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pontesbury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Pontesbury: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pontesbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Pontesbury
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
