The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carntyne
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Carntyne?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Repair or replace in Carntyne?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carntyne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths

Questions from Carntyne
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
