Bath re-enamelling for Lees homes

Bath re-enamelling in Lees, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Lees

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we are called out for in Lees

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

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

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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