How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Longcroft
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
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 any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Longcroft
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Longcroft?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairing versus replacing in Longcroft
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

FAQs for Longcroft
Do you work in Longcroft?
We do. We send a technician to Longcroft for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
