How we handle bath re-enamelling in Longbridge

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Longbridge

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Longbridge

If you manage property in Longbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Longbridge?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Longbridge clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Longbridge

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Longbridge?

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
