About our bath re-enamelling in Carclaze
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Carclaze
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Carclaze
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
