About our bath re-enamelling in Ardrishaig
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ardrishaig?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Ardrishaig: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
