Bath re-enamelling in Lee Moor

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lee Moor

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Lee Moor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

When to call us in Lee Moor

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before you book

Lee Moor: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

What affects the price in Lee Moor

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Lee Moor and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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