Bath re-enamelling in Shipton Green without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Shipton Green: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Landlord and trade work in Shipton Green
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You don’t 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shipton Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Shipton Green
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
