About our bath re-enamelling in Leaden Knowl

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What else we do in Leaden Knowl
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Leaden Knowl
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Leaden Knowl?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Leaden Knowl?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Leaden Knowl. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
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.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Leaden Knowl. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
