DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling in The Shoe, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in The Shoe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in The Shoe?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps

Repairing versus replacing in The Shoe
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in The Shoe
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in The Shoe?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What affects the price in The Shoe
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
