Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Shevington Moor, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

  • Most jobs done in one visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Shevington Moor: your questions answered

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Shevington Moor?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Shevington Moor?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shevington Moor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Shevington Moor

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
