What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Banbhaidh, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Banbhaidh
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Banbhaidh
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Repairing versus replacing in Banbhaidh
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Banbhaidh
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it

- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Banbhaidh
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
