Bath re-enamelling in Shackerley without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Shackerley questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
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.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Shackerley
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
