Repair or replace in Shipdham?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Shipdham
- Victorian roll-tops

Common problems we fix in Shipdham

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What affects the price in Shipdham
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
FAQs for Shipdham
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Shipdham?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
