Bath re-enamelling in Shebdon without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed quote from your pictures, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
About our bath re-enamelling in Shebdon
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 regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
When to call us in Shebdon
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Shebdon: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
