Bath re-enamelling in Longborough without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Longborough
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Longborough
Landlords, agents and businesses in Longborough
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

What affects the price in Longborough
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longborough. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Longborough
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Longborough?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
