Bath Re-enamelling for Willoughby Waterleys homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Willoughby Waterleys and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
About our bath re-enamelling in Willoughby Waterleys
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Willoughby Waterleys and across Leicestershire.

Questions from Willoughby Waterleys
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Willoughby Waterleys?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When to call us in Willoughby Waterleys
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Willoughby Waterleys contact us are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through

Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlord and trade work in Willoughby Waterleys
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
