Bath re-enamelling in Langridge without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair cannot fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace in Langridge?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Langridge. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Langridge and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Langridge
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Langridge: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the entire of Bath and North East Somerset?
The whole UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Langridge?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
