Bath re-enamelling in Leycett

Bath re-enamelling in Leycett without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leycett as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Leycett?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Repairs by material

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

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Common questions in Leycett

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Leycett. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
