Bath re-enamelling at your home in Castlebay
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Common problems we fix in Castlebay
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Castlebay contact us are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
What affects the price in Castlebay
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Castlebay. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Castlebay
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
