How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shermanbury
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shermanbury and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Shermanbury
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common problems we fix in Shermanbury
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What affects the price in Shermanbury
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shermanbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Shermanbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shermanbury use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
