How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Shawford
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shawford. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shawford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Shawford
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
