Longden questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Longden
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

When to call us in Longden
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Longden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
