Book bath re-enamelling in Langley

What affects the price in Langley

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Langley. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Langley

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. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Langley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

When to call us in Langley

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Langley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Langley customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Langley

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire East?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire East. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be fumes?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
