Bath re-enamelling in Shirehampton without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Shirehampton is one of 89 towns and villages in Bristol we cover. We work right across the region, from Shirehampton to Birmingham (about 75 miles away).

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bristol and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Shirehampton
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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 usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Shirehampton questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Shirehampton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shirehampton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- 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. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
