What affects the price in Potter Hill
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Potter Hill. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Potter Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath re-enamelling in Potter Hill, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

What else we do in Potter Hill
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Potter Hill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Potter Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Potter Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
When to call us in Potter Hill

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairing versus replacing in Potter Hill
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
