Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Bath re-enamelling in Leicester Forest West, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What we’re called out for in Leicester Forest West
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Common questions in Leicester Forest West
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Leicester Forest West, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
