When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cartsdyke
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cartsdyke and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cartsdyke. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PA15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Cartsdyke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cartsdyke?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
