- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sleights. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling in Sleights without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Sleights
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sleights
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Sleights?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sleights. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
