Bath re-enamelling in Shandon without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shandon and across Argyll and Bute.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shandon?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Shandon: your questions answered
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shandon?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work in Shandon?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shandon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
