Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Bath re-enamelling in Shelf without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Shelf
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Shelf?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shelf. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Shelf and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Shelf
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
