Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Knighton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for West Knighton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
All of Leicester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How it works
Once we are through the door, 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.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in West Knighton
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
