Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ratby
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ratby. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Ratby questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
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.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Ratby
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
