Bath re-enamelling in Loyterton

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we work on in Loyterton

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Loyterton

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Loyterton and across Kent.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Loyterton. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Loyterton, photos 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.

Common problems we fix in Loyterton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Loyterton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loyterton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
