Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kilby
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

About Kilby
Kilby is about 2 miles south-east of Wigston, in Leicestershire. We visit clients in Kilby and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. We cover 287 places across Leicestershire. Our jobs stretch from Kilby to Birmingham (34 miles away).
We work across LE18 and the streets around it. From Main Street, Breton Close and River Lane or a nearby road, we can come to you. Nearby, we also work in Wistow (1 mile east), Newton Harcourt (2 miles north-east), Arnesby (2 miles south), Fleckney (2 miles south-east) and Shearsby (3 miles south). Larger places within reach include Hinckley (12 miles west), Syston (10 miles north), Lutterworth (8 miles south-west), Blaby (4 miles west), Broughton Astley (6 miles west) and Earl Shilton (10 miles west).
Near you in Kilby
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Abington Academy, Church of St Mary Magdalene and The Dog And Gun Public House. The nearest railway station is South Wigston station, roughly 2.8 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Wigston Folk Museum (1.8 miles north) and Kibworth Harcourt Castle (3.8 miles east).
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Kilby: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover Kilby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kilby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kilby. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Repairing versus replacing in Kilby
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
