Common problems we fix in Shawfair
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

About our bath re-enamelling in Shawfair
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right.
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.

Landlord and trade work in Shawfair
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shawfair as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shawfair
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Shawfair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Shawfair
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Shawfair. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
