Bath Re-enamelling for Shillingford St George homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Shillingford St George, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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 is what we repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Shillingford St George without replacing anything
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. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Shillingford St George
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Shillingford St George
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

What else we do in Shillingford St George
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Shillingford St George
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
