Bath re-enamelling in Cark without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cark as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Cark questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What else we do in Cark
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Cark
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
