Bath re-enamelling in Ardersier without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price 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 you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Ardersier and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ardersier
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Ardersier?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
