Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Longstowe
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Longstowe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Longstowe questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?

How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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 take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Longstowe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Longstowe, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
When to call us in Longstowe
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
