Bath re-enamelling at your home in New Leake
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in New Leake, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in New Leake
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

New Leake: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for New Leake?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
