Trusted bath re-enamelling in Conkwell

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Conkwell

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Conkwell

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Conkwell questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Conkwell

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

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
