About our bath re-enamelling in Coningsby

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Coningsby

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in Coningsby

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

Coningsby: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

When can you do it?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.
