About our bath re-enamelling in Lee Mill

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Lee Mill

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Questions from Lee Mill

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lee Mill?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Lee Mill?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Lee Mill

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Lee Mill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
