Bath re-enamelling near Langstone

Bath re-enamelling in Langstone, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Langstone

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Langstone

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
