Bath re-enamelling at your home in Leeming
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Landlord and trade work in Leeming
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leeming as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
FAQs for Leeming
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Leeming. Prices don’t change with location.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What affects the price in Leeming
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Leeming?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Leeming
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your photos
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
