Honest limits

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Langley Common, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Langley Common as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Langley Common. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Langley Common questions

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Langley Common?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
