Bath re-enamelling at your home in Longwood
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Longwood
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Longwood
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
Most customers in Longwood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Longwood
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
