Bath re-enamelling in Lee Common without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?

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 generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lee Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lee Common

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Questions from Lee Common

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Lee Common?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lee Common?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Lee Common

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lee Common use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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