Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Contin, Highland
Problem with your bath in Contin? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Contin
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Contin: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
