Bath re-enamelling at your home in Longframlington
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Longframlington?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What else we do in Longframlington
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves 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 most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Longframlington: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
