The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lennie

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Lennie

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lennie

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Lennie?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What affects the price in Lennie

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Lennie

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

If you manage property in Lennie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
