Repair or replace in Diseworth?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Diseworth
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

What we are called out for in Diseworth
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Diseworth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice

Also in Diseworth
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Diseworth get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Diseworth: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Diseworth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Diseworth and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
