Bath re-enamelling for Shootash homes

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Bath re-enamelling in Shootash, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Shootash

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we are called out for in Shootash

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlord and trade work in Shootash

Rental properties take more wear, 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 Shootash, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Common questions in Shootash

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
