About our bath re-enamelling in Lower East Carleton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lower East Carleton?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lower East Carleton
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work in Lower East Carleton?
We do. We send a technician to Lower East Carleton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Lower East Carleton
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
