Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Balloch, Highland
Bath re-enamelling across Balloch and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Balloch
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Balloch
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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 normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
