Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blaby
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What else we do in Blaby
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
