Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Leitholm

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Leitholm. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath

For a price in Leitholm, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Leitholm

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TD12 postcode.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Leitholm.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Repair or replace in Leitholm?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
