When to call us in Car Colston
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Car Colston: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Car Colston. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Car Colston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
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.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Car Colston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Car Colston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
