Bath re-enamelling for Loughton homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Loughton

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Loughton

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Loughton?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Loughton?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

Common problems we fix in Loughton

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Loughton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Loughton

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
