Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
About our bath re-enamelling in Longwick
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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Longwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Longwick?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

FAQs for Longwick
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Repairing versus replacing in Longwick
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
