Bath Re-enamelling for Earl Shilton homes

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Earl Shilton, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Earl Shilton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Earl Shilton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Earl Shilton questions
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Earl Shilton and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
