How we handle bath re-enamelling in Empingham
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Empingham: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Empingham?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
