How we handle bath re-enamelling in Carlton-on-Trent
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Carlton-on-Trent
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Carlton-on-Trent included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Carlton-on-Trent
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

- 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.

Getting ready for the visit
