Bath re-enamelling in Shroton without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Shroton
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Shroton
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Shroton
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
