Bath re-enamelling in Willesley, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Willesley questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Willesley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- Several chips and rust patches

Landlord and trade work in Willesley
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What affects the price in Willesley
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Willesley. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t 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 photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
