What else we do in Shitterton
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shitterton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
