How we handle bath re-enamelling in Langney
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Langney. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Langney, 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.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langney use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, 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.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Langney questions
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
