Book bath re-enamelling in Merry Lees

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

About our bath re-enamelling in Merry Lees

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Merry Lees

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE67 postcode.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you come to Merry Lees?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Merry Lees and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Merry Lees

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Merry Lees

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merry Lees

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
