About our bath re-enamelling in Langton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Langton
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in Langton
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Langton. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
