About our bath re-enamelling in Shalbourne
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalbourne
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Shalbourne: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shalbourne.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shalbourne, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in Shalbourne
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
