Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Longcross

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

We cover the entire UK, including Longcross and the rest of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Bath re-enamelling in Longcross without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Longcross?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Landlord and trade work in Longcross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longcross use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit 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 we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on
