Bath re-enamelling in Shephall without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Shephall
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Shephall. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
