Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Thurcaston
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicester.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Thurcaston
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Thurcaston?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What we’re called out for in Thurcaston
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 any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Thurcaston?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
