About our bath re-enamelling in Leavening
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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 straight away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Leavening: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
If you manage property in Leavening, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Leavening

You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
If you are in Leavening and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
