Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
About our bath re-enamelling in Langley Common
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
