Common problems we fix in Shenington
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shenington
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Shenington is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shenington. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shenington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What else we do in Shenington
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shenington
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
