Bath re-enamelling in Carnhot, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carnhot
If you manage property in Carnhot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we are called out for in Carnhot
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Carnhot. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Carnhot
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Carnhot?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Carnhot. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
