About our bath re-enamelling in Longden Common
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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Questions from Longden Common
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you come to Longden Common?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longden Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
