Questions from Langdon Hills
Are there extra charges for Langdon Hills?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Langdon Hills
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
