Bath re-enamelling in Old Langho

Bath re-enamelling in Old Langho without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Langho as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Old Langho?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start 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.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Old Langho

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work in Old Langho?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Old Langho from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Old Langho

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
