Bath Re-enamelling for Kirkby Mallory homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Kirkby Mallory, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Mallory
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. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kirkby Mallory and across Leicestershire.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Kirkby Mallory
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Kirkby Mallory, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
