Bath re-enamelling for Langlee homes

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

About our bath re-enamelling in Langlee

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Langlee

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Langlee

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

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.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Langlee, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
