Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thorpe Arnold
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Thorpe Arnold, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Arnold?
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Questions from Thorpe Arnold
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Thorpe Arnold?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thorpe Arnold and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
