What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 the part we put right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Achnacroish
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps

What affects the price in Achnacroish
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Achnacroish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Achnacroish
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
