Bath re-enamelling near Normanton on Soar

What a repair cannot fix

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Bath re-enamelling in Normanton on Soar, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Normanton on Soar and across Leicestershire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Questions from Normanton on Soar

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What areas do you cover?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Normanton on Soar. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Normanton on Soar and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
