Bath re-enamelling in Elmesthorpe without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Elmesthorpe questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
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.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Elmesthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Elmesthorpe. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
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 usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
