Trusted bath re-enamelling in Corston

Bath re-enamelling in Corston, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Corston

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Corston.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Corston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Corston. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairing versus replacing in Corston

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
