How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shanklin Village
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Shanklin Village, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Shanklin Village
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you come to Shanklin Village?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shanklin Village. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How it works
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 the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

What affects the price in Shanklin Village
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SM2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
