Bath re-enamelling for Lee Head homes

Bath re-enamelling in Lee Head, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Lee Head: your questions answered

Do you cover Lee Head?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lee Head for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Lee Head

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

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.
