Should you replace it?

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Leake

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Leake. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in Old Leake, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Old Leake

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
