Trusted bath re-enamelling in Langley

Bath re-enamelling in Langley without replacing anything

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 work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What affects the price in Langley

Resurfacing 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
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Langley, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Langley

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SO45 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
