How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shillingford
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit

What we are called out for in Shillingford
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before you book anyone

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Questions from Shillingford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Shillingford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shillingford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What else we do in Shillingford
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shillingford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
