Bath re-enamelling in Burton Lazars without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Burton Lazars?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Burton Lazars

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
