About our bath re-enamelling in Applecross
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Applecross
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
The entire UK, including all of Highland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work in Applecross?
We do. We send a technician to Applecross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Applecross
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Applecross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Applecross clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Common problems we fix in Applecross
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Common reasons people in Applecross contact us are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
