Bath re-enamelling in Longbar without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Longbar
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Longbar questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Longbar.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Longbar. Prices don’t change with location.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
