Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling in West Langdon, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in West Langdon
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in West Langdon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Langdon?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Langdon
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover West Langdon?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West Langdon and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in West Langdon
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
