Bath re-enamelling at your home in Balnacra
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Balnacra and across Highland.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common questions in Balnacra
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Balnacra
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
