Bath re-enamelling at your home in Smisby
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Questions from Smisby
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
