Bath re-enamelling at your home in Claddach Kyles

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace in Claddach Kyles?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Claddach Kyles

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
