How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Careby
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

FAQs for Careby
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Careby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Careby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Careby?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
