About our bath re-enamelling in Carisbrooke
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Carisbrooke
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

FAQs for Carisbrooke
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Carisbrooke
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
