How we handle bath re-enamelling in Achiltibuie
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Questions from Achiltibuie
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Achiltibuie?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
About Achiltibuie
Achiltibuie is in Highland. We visit homes and businesses in Achiltibuie and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. We work in 253 places in Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.
Our visits in IV26 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Nearby, we also work in Lochinver (10 miles north), Ullapool (10 miles south-east), Laide (13 miles south-west), Stoer (13 miles north) and Stor (14 miles north). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Achiltibuie
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Achiltibuie use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Achiltibuie?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Achiltibuie. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
