Bath re-enamelling near Lee

Bath re-enamelling in Lee without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Questions from Lee

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Lee, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common problems we fix in Lee

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What affects the price in Lee

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lee. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
