About our bath re-enamelling in Loyter's Green
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Loyter's Green
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Loyter's Green
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Loyter's Green
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you cover Loyter's Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Loyter's Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
