Bath re-enamelling in Carbrooke, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting 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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Carbrooke, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Common problems we fix in Carbrooke
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
