Bath Re-enamelling for Ullesthorpe homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Ullesthorpe, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ullesthorpe
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Ullesthorpe
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
