Bath re-enamelling at your home in Àird
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Àird?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions from Àird
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Àird?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Landlord and trade work in Àird
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Covering Àird
Àird is in Highland. Whether you’re in the middle of Àird or on the outskirts, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Àird is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.
Our visits in IV22 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets such as Mackenzie Square and Pier Road, all of which we cover. We also cover the places around Àird: Aultbea (1 mile east), Laide (3 miles north-east), Inverasdale (3 miles south-west), Poolewe (5 miles south) and Gairloch (8 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
Near you in Àird
We visit homes around Aultbea Free Church. Nearby you will also find Arctic Convoy Museum (0.7 miles east). For a walk, there’s Loch a' Bhaid-luachraich.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
