About our bath re-enamelling in Shop Corner
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Shop Corner. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Shop Corner and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Shop Corner
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shop Corner
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Common problems we fix in Shop Corner
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
