Bath re-enamelling in Longdowns without replacing anything
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 basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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’s the part we put right.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longdowns. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you are in Longdowns and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Longdowns
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

When to call us in Longdowns
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
