How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shellingford
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Shellingford
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlord and trade work in Shellingford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Shellingford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Shellingford: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Shellingford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
