Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shipham
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Bath re-enamelling in Shipham, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Shipham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shipham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
When to call us in Shipham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- If travel is included in the price
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: 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.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
