Bath re-enamelling in Leysdown-on-Sea, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Leysdown-on-Sea

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

FAQs for Leysdown-on-Sea

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Leysdown-on-Sea. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Leysdown-on-Sea clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Leysdown-on-Sea?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
