FAQs for The Leys

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in The Leys?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

About our bath re-enamelling in The Leys

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we’re called out for in The Leys

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to The Leys. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
