Bath re-enamelling in Baile a' Mhanaich, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Baile a' Mhanaich questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you cover Baile a' Mhanaich?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Baile a' Mhanaich and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repair or replace in Baile a' Mhanaich?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Baile a' Mhanaich?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
