About our bath re-enamelling in Somerby
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Somerby: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Somerby?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

- An old resurfacing that is failing

- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Other services in Somerby
Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
