About our bath re-enamelling in Carterton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carterton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Carterton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 affects the price in Carterton
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carterton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Carterton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
