Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carmichael

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: 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 removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Carmichael?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

FAQs for Carmichael

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Carmichael. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
