How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Leachkin
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Leachkin. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
There are no surprise 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.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why Leachkin customers choose us

Questions from Leachkin
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
Across the UK, so Leachkin is covered. Prices do not change with location.
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.
Do you come to Leachkin?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Leachkin. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What we are called out for in Leachkin
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
