Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Longton: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover Longton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Longton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Longton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What else we do in Longton
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Longton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
