Bath re-enamelling in Carlton Scroop, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Carlton Scroop?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Carlton Scroop

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

FAQs for Carlton Scroop

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Carlton Scroop?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG32 postcode.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
