Bath re-enamelling in Carrington without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Carrington
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Carrington
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Carrington?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG5 postcode.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you work in Carrington?
We do. We send a technician to Carrington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Nottingham?
The entire UK, including all of Nottingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Carrington?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carrington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
