Bath re-enamelling in Shirl Heath, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Questions from Shirl Heath
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shirl Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When to call us in Shirl Heath
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
