Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
When to call us in Carrick Knowe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again

Repair or replace in Carrick Knowe?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carrick Knowe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
