Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shavington
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Shavington
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift

What affects the price in Shavington
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
If you are in Shavington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shavington
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Shavington?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CW2 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
