About our bath re-enamelling in Shearsby
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Shearsby
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions from Shearsby
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shearsby?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE17 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shearsby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Shearsby
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
