About our bath re-enamelling in Carlton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Repairing versus replacing in Carlton
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Carlton
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
