Problem with your bath in Longford? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:

Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

We work UK-wide, so Longford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Longford
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
