Bath re-enamelling in Little Leighs, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Little Leighs
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Leighs
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Leighs as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 quote, not an estimate.
