Trusted bath re-enamelling in Langho

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Langho

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Langho and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common problems we fix in Langho

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Langho questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
