Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carley Hill
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Carley Hill?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Carley Hill
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Carley Hill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carley Hill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
