Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shieldhill
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Shieldhill
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most customers in Shieldhill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Shieldhill?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shieldhill
