Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shireoaks
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shireoaks. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

When to call us in Shireoaks

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
