Bath re-enamelling near Longfleet

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

About our bath re-enamelling in Longfleet

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Longfleet and across Poole.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Longfleet. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Longfleet

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Longfleet?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you work in Longfleet?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Longfleet. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace in Longfleet?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longfleet

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
