Bath Re-enamelling in Carmeltown
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Carmeltown, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carmeltown
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Common questions in Carmeltown
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Repair or replace in Carmeltown?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
