Book bath re-enamelling in Leven

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

About our bath re-enamelling in Leven

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Leven?

Replacing a bath generally 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. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

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

When to call us in Leven

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Leven

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
