We travel to Shawell for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shawell
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Shawell questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LE17 postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shawell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Shawell?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site

When to call us in Shawell
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
