Repair or replace in Carrbrook?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath re-enamelling in Carrbrook without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Carrbrook: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover Carrbrook?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Carrbrook and the rest of Tameside. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Carrbrook.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Carrbrook?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
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. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows 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, and the outside can be refinished too.
