DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Dane Hills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What we’re called out for in Dane Hills
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common questions in Dane Hills
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the entire of Leicester?
All of Leicester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dane Hills?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
