Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Bath re-enamelling in Shadsworth, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Shadsworth
Do you work in Shadsworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shadsworth and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
