Bath re-enamelling for St George homes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in St George without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St George as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to St George. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why St George clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
