Bath re-enamelling in Longtown, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

Common problems we fix in Longtown
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Longtown contact us are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What else we do in Longtown
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 check it carefully.
FAQs for Longtown
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Longtown included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us

- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business

- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
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 rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
