About our bath re-enamelling in Clachan Shannda
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Clachan Shannda
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Clachan Shannda?
We do. We send a technician to Clachan Shannda for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Na h-Eileanan Siar?
Across the UK, so Clachan Shannda is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Repair or replace in Clachan Shannda?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HS6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
