Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Langdon

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Langdon

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What we are called out for in East Langdon

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

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

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
