Should you replace it?
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 whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Bundalloch: your questions answered
Do you work in Bundalloch?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bundalloch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Bundalloch?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bundalloch

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bundalloch
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
