  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carmel

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Carmel

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you work in Carmel?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Carmel and the rest of Flintshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Carmel

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carmel as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
