Bath re-enamelling in Balmacara without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Balmacara
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Balmacara?
We do. We send a technician to Balmacara for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Balmacara
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Balmacara. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Balmacara
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV40 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Balmacara?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
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
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
