Bath Re-enamelling in Shottle
Local bath re-enamelling for Shottle: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shottle
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Shottle
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Shottle
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shottle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shottle, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Shottle

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
