About our bath re-enamelling in Shepherd's Green
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of 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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

Shepherd's Green: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Shepherd's Green?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Shepherd's Green
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What affects the price in Shepherd's Green
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
