How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Legburthwaite
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
