Bath re-enamelling in Humberstone, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Humberstone
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Humberstone
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Humberstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Humberstone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Humberstone questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
