Bath re-enamelling in New Parks, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

New Parks questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicester.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including New Parks and the rest of Leicester. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Common problems we fix in New Parks
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in New Parks get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Parks
If you manage property in New Parks, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What else we do in New Parks
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
