Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Bath re-enamelling in Rotherby, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Materials we work on in Rotherby

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we’re called out for in Rotherby

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white

FAQs for Rotherby

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Rotherby?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Rotherby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
