Bath re-enamelling at your home in Loaningfoot
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. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Loaningfoot
For anyone letting property in or around Loaningfoot, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Loaningfoot
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Questions from Loaningfoot
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you work in Loaningfoot?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Loaningfoot. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
