About our bath re-enamelling in Leigh

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Leigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What we’re called out for in Leigh

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

FAQs for Leigh

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you cover Leigh?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Leigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we work on in Leigh

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
