Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shawlands
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. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shawlands as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Shawlands
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we’re called out for in Shawlands
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Shawlands
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Questions from Shawlands
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Shawlands?
We do. Technicians travel to Shawlands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
