Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in The Lee, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common questions in The Lee
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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 cover The Lee?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to The Lee. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for The Lee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for The Lee. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Lee. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in The Lee, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Repair or replace in The Lee?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
