How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Wigston
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We are often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in South Wigston
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in South Wigston?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE18 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Repair or replace in South Wigston?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it

- Nothing taken out or refitted

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
