What affects the price in Langley Heath
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Langley Heath
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Langley Heath
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Langley Heath questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Langley Heath?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Langley Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Langley Heath included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Repair or replace in Langley Heath?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
