- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

FAQs for Carlton
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Carlton?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Carlton
