Bath re-enamelling in Rise Carr without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

Questions from Rise Carr
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Landlord and trade work in Rise Carr
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Rise Carr
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled

What affects the price in Rise Carr
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
