What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alness
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alness
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Alness
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Alness?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Alness?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
