What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Loughborough Junction. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Loughborough Junction, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Loughborough Junction

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Loughborough Junction?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Our hiring checklist

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
