Bath re-enamelling in Langton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Langton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Langton: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in Langton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Langton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repairing versus replacing in Langton

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Langton clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Langton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
