Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shaw?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Shaw, photos 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.

Shaw questions
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you come to Shaw?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shaw from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shaw?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What we do, step by step

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
