About our bath re-enamelling in Cargreen

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Cargreen

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cargreen

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Cargreen

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cargreen

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
