Bath re-enamelling at your home in Langtoft
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Langtoft questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Langtoft

Repair or replace in Langtoft?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. 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.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Langtoft. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
