Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sheldwich
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Sheldwich: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Sheldwich?
We do. We send a technician to Sheldwich for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Sheldwich
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheldwich use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
