Bath re-enamelling in Owston, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 typically the cheaper route.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Owston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Owston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: 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?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Owston
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover the entire of Rutland?
All of Rutland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
