Bath re-enamelling in Dornoch, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Dornoch questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
Across the UK, and that includes Dornoch. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dornoch?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Dornoch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace in Dornoch?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before you book

What we’re called out for in Dornoch
