Bath re-enamelling in Carsington without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Common questions in Carsington

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Carsington?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Carsington

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Carsington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Carsington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Carsington customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
