Bath re-enamelling near Leigh Green

Bath re-enamelling in Leigh Green without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN30 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When to call us in Leigh Green

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Leigh Green questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you work in Leigh Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Leigh Green. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths

Repair or replace in Leigh Green?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
