Bath re-enamelling for Congerstone homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Congerstone

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Congerstone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Congerstone

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Congerstone, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common problems we fix in Congerstone

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Congerstone

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
