Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in West Leake, Leicestershire

How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Leake
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in West Leake
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for West Leake. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Common problems we fix in West Leake
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
