Bath re-enamelling in Longtown, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairing versus replacing in Longtown
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Longtown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Longtown
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

What we are called out for in Longtown

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Longtown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Longtown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, 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 a new finish makes them look new again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
