Trusted bath re-enamelling in Loscoe

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

About our bath re-enamelling in Loscoe

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 a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Loscoe

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What affects the price in Loscoe

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Loscoe. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loscoe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Loscoe

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Loscoe customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
