About our bath re-enamelling in Shellwood Cross
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Shellwood Cross
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Shellwood Cross. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
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’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Shellwood Cross: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Shellwood Cross?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shellwood Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shellwood Cross
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Shellwood Cross, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
