Landlords, agents and businesses in Shieldhall
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling in Shieldhall without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Shieldhall

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shieldhall?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Shieldhall questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit

Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath

- The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
