Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Ratcliffe on the Wreake questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
