Bath re-enamelling for Leeming Bar homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Leeming Bar

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Repair or replace in Leeming Bar?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Leeming Bar

If you manage property in Leeming Bar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Leeming Bar

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Leeming Bar: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
