Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shellbrook
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’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
FAQs for Shellbrook
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Shellbrook included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shellbrook use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
