How we handle bath re-enamelling in Longnor
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Longnor
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Longnor and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Longnor
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Longnor?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Longnor
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Longnor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
