Other services in Barkby Thorpe
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Barkby Thorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barkby Thorpe
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Barkby Thorpe.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
