Bath re-enamelling in Longfield Hill without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

What we are called out for in Longfield Hill

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longfield Hill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Longfield Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
