Bath re-enamelling in Shangton without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Shangton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How the visit works
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. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shangton
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.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
