Bath re-enamelling in Little Dalby, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Common questions in Little Dalby
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Little Dalby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Little Dalby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
