Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. 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 you know the cost before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barwell
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leicestershire.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Barwell?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Barwell, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
