What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Bath re-enamelling in Belle Isle without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Belle Isle?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

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 any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Belle Isle

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Belle Isle?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Belle Isle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
