What else we do in Shipmeadow
Materials and what they mean for 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 for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Shipmeadow?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shipmeadow?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
