Bath re-enamelling in Wigston Fields without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Wigston Fields
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Wigston Fields. Prices do not change with location.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Wigston Fields and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wigston Fields

- Wear marks under the taps

- A roll-top that’s seen better days
