About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Longdon
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Longdon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
