Bath re-enamelling in Donington without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Donington, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Donington
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Landlords, agents and businesses in Donington
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Donington
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Donington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
