Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Bath re-enamelling in Shottery, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
FAQs for Shottery
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are there extra charges for Shottery?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shottery.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we’re called out for in Shottery
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
