Carlton Colville questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Carlton Colville
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Carlton Colville
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlton Colville

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
