Bath re-enamelling for Leonard Stanley homes

Bath re-enamelling in Leonard Stanley, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Leonard Stanley

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

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

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Leonard Stanley: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Leonard Stanley?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

What affects the price in Leonard Stanley

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Leonard Stanley. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
