Trusted bath re-enamelling in Shepperdine

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath re-enamelling in Shepperdine without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Shepperdine

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Shepperdine, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Shepperdine

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
