About our bath re-enamelling in Longsight
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, 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 pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Longsight
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longsight
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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
