Need bath re-enamelling in Leighton?

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Leighton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Leighton and across Powys.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

Common reasons people in Leighton contact us are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Leighton?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Leighton clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Leighton: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you work in Leighton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Leighton and the rest of Powys. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Leighton. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Leighton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
