Bath re-enamelling at your home in Saxby
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Saxby
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Saxby?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Saxby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Saxby
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on 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 happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Saxby?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
