Bath re-enamelling in Shelfanger without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
FAQs for Shelfanger
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shelfanger?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
