Need bath re-enamelling in Leece?

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Leece

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Leece

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Leece

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Leece is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Repairing versus replacing in Leece

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
