Advice
Bath re-enamelling in South Kilworth, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in South Kilworth and across Leicestershire.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in South Kilworth
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for South Kilworth
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
