Bath re-enamelling in Shuttington without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Shuttington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shuttington questions

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repair or replace in Shuttington?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
