Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Longhirst
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Longhirst
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Longhirst
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
