Bath re-enamelling in Langham

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Langham

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

When to call us in Langham

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

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

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Langham

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Are there extra charges for Langham?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
