Bath re-enamelling for St Leonards homes

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around St Leonards, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Leonards

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from St Leonards

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in St Leonards?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G74 postcode.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in St Leonards?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we are called out for in St Leonards

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

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