How we handle bath re-enamelling in Longford

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Longford

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Longford?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA2 postcode.

How do I book?

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Repairing versus replacing in Longford

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Longford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
