Bath re-enamelling in Upper Leigh, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths

Common problems we fix in Upper Leigh

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Upper Leigh

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Upper Leigh?

We do. Technicians travel to Upper Leigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Leigh

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
