- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carno
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Carno
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
Carno: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Carno?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carno for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes 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.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For anyone letting property in or around Carno, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
