DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tadgedale
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tadgedale and across Shropshire.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Advice
Common questions in Tadgedale
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tadgedale?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Tadgedale
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
