Canisbay is about 15 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Canisbay is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.
Every address in KW1 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

Further out, we also cover Thurso (15 miles west), Wick (13 miles south) and Castletown (10 miles west). For island and remote addresses, ring us first and we will plan the trip.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Canisbay
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Canisbay. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Canisbay
If you manage property in Canisbay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
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.
