Bath re-enamelling at your home in Langton Herring
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Langton Herring
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Langton Herring?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
