Bath re-enamelling in Longlane without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Longlane
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Longlane
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Longlane
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longlane as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Longlane, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
