What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Loughborough?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Loughborough. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Loughborough

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE11 postcode.

Do you cover Loughborough?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Loughborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
