Common questions in Longbarn

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover Longbarn?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Longbarn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

About our bath re-enamelling in Longbarn

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longbarn

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When to call us in Longbarn

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Longbarn customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Longbarn, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

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