About our bath re-enamelling in Carlton Forest
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When to call us in Carlton Forest
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Carlton Forest: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
