Bath Re-enamelling for Shabbington homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Shabbington and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shabbington
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shabbington as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Shabbington
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Shabbington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

FAQs for Shabbington
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Shabbington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Buckinghamshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
