Bath re-enamelling at your home in Loose
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Loose?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places

FAQs for Loose
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you come to Loose?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Loose and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Loose?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME15 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
More services for Loose
Landlord and trade work in Loose
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
