Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Longley without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Longley
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Longley is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

What else we do in Longley
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Longley. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Longley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
