About our bath re-enamelling in Shipton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
For anyone letting property in or around Shipton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Shipton. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shipton?
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.
Look out for these signs:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
