Bath re-enamelling for Carndu homes

Bath re-enamelling in Carndu without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Honest limits

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Common problems we fix in Carndu

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
