Bath re-enamelling in Leicester without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Leicester
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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 resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Leicester and the rest of Leicester. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Leicester. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you’re in Leicester and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in Leicester?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
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 often lifts.
