Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Westcotes without replacing anything
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 acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicester.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westcotes
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Westcotes. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
