How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ludwell
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ludwell
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ludwell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Ludwell questions
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Repair or replace in Ludwell?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
