How we handle bath re-enamelling in Carnkie
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Carnkie
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are there extra charges for Carnkie?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What affects the price in Carnkie
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Carnkie. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Carnkie, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

- A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Carnkie
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
