Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
About our bath re-enamelling in Shotover Hill
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Shotover Hill
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why Shotover Hill clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Shotover Hill
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
