How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shelton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling in Shelton, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Shelton: your questions answered

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shelton.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Shelton

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shelton?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
