Bath Re-enamelling for Lowesby homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Lowesby, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Lowesby
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lowesby and across Leicestershire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lowesby
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
