Bath re-enamelling for Littlethorpe homes

What we do, step by step

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 the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Littlethorpe without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Littlethorpe. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Littlethorpe

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Littlethorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Littlethorpe: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Littlethorpe and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
