Bath re-enamelling in Carbost without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Carbost. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Carbost
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carbost as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Carbost
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again

Questions from Carbost
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
