Bath re-enamelling for Loosegate homes

What we’re called out for in Loosegate

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Bath re-enamelling in Loosegate, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Loosegate?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlord and trade work in Loosegate

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Loosegate

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Loosegate. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Loosegate and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Loosegate

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
