Bath re-enamelling in Carnkie without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
When to call us in Carnkie
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in Carnkie?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Carnkie
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
