Bath re-enamelling near Leamouth

About our bath re-enamelling in Leamouth

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Leamouth questions

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Leamouth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

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, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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 frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Leamouth

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
