Bath re-enamelling in Langtree without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Langtree

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Langtree?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
