Bath re-enamelling in Leadenham without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Leadenham?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

Leadenham questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Leadenham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Leadenham

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Leadenham

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
