About our bath re-enamelling in Carnbo
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Common problems we fix in Carnbo
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
