What we’re called out for in Coniston

FAQs for Coniston
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Coniston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Coniston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Coniston?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Coniston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
