Bath re-enamelling for Shipton Bellinger homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Shipton Bellinger

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SP9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shipton Bellinger?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Shipton Bellinger: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shipton Bellinger. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Repairs by material

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 the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
