Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Langenhoe
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Langenhoe and across Essex.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Langenhoe

Clients usually contact us about:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Langenhoe: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Landlord and trade work in Langenhoe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langenhoe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Langenhoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
