Bath re-enamelling in Back, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Covering Back
Back is about 6 miles north-east of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Book a date that suits you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Back is one of 87 towns and villages in Na h-Eileanan Siar we cover.
Every address in HS2 is within our area. Local streets include Broadbay View, Rathad na Sgoile and Sraid na H-Eaglaise, and we cover them all. We also cover the places around Back: Sulaisiadar (5 miles south-east), Garrabost (5 miles south-east), Na h-Eileanan an Iar (5 miles south), Knock (5 miles south) and Aiginis (5 miles south).

Local landmarks in Back
Around Back, we work in homes near Am Bac, among other places. A little further out are Western Isles Hospital (5.4 miles south-west). The countryside around Back includes Loch Langavat.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Other services in Back
Common problems we fix in Back
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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.
Questions from Back
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Back?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Back. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
