Bath re-enamelling in Brora

Brora questions

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KW9 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Bath re-enamelling in Brora without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Roll-top bath being refinished by a Surface Doctor technician

Different materials, different repairs

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 is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Brora, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Brora

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
