Bath Re-enamelling in Longcot
Problem with your bath in Longcot? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Longcot
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longcot
If you manage property in Longcot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Longcot
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in Longcot
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
