Bath re-enamelling at your home in Leckhampton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Leckhampton?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
For a price in Leckhampton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Leckhampton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leckhampton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Leckhampton
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
