Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling in Lea, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Lea

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lea?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you come to Lea?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lea for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Materials and what they mean for 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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
