About our bath re-enamelling in Carrbridge
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Common questions in Carrbridge
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Carrbridge
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carrbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
