About our bath re-enamelling in Loves Green

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Loves Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Loves Green

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
