Bath Re-enamelling for Carn-glas homes
Bath re-enamelling across Carn-glas and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Carn-glas without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in Carn-glas
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
