How we handle bath re-enamelling in An t-Ob
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from An t-Ob
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover the whole of Na h-Eileanan Siar?
Everywhere in the UK, An t-Ob included. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in An t-Ob?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Landlords, agents and businesses in An t-Ob
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What else we do in An t-Ob
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
