- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Shaw: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shaw?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
When to call us in Shaw
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
