Bath re-enamelling in Orton Longueville without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Orton Longueville and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Orton Longueville?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Our hiring checklist

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

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Common questions in Orton Longueville

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Orton Longueville is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work in Orton Longueville?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Orton Longueville from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
