How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shawbury

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shawbury, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Shawbury

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled

  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
