How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling in Longford, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Telford and Wrekin.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Longford questions
Do you work in Longford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Longford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Longford. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
