Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lea

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

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.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Lea. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lea. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lea?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
