When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Saxelbye?
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
FAQs for Saxelbye
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Saxelbye?
We do. We send a technician to Saxelbye for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
