About our bath re-enamelling in Carlton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Questions from Carlton
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures 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 photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Other services in Carlton
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Where we work around Carlton
Carlton is about 6 miles south of Coalville, in Leicestershire. Book a date that suits you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so you are not left waiting in all day. We cover 287 places in Leicestershire. We work right across the region, from Carlton to Birmingham (about 24 miles away).

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Common problems we fix in Carlton
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
