Bath re-enamelling in Longbridge, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longbridge and across Warwickshire.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Longbridge

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Longbridge?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Longbridge?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
