About our bath re-enamelling in Carrville
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive

- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Carrville, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
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.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Carrville questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover Carrville?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carrville for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Repair or replace in Carrville?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything

What else we do in Carrville
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
