The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in South Carlton
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repair or replace in South Carlton?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for South Carlton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath re-enamelling

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
South Carlton questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes South Carlton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
