Bath re-enamelling in Kimcote, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kimcote and across Leicestershire.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Kimcote
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Kimcote questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Kimcote get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
