Bath re-enamelling in Shandon, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shandon. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shandon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Shandon
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shandon?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish 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
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
