About our bath re-enamelling in Balintore
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balintore as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Balintore
How long does re-enamelling take?

Which areas do you work in?

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. 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.
