Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Dunbeath, Highland
We travel to Dunbeath for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling in Dunbeath, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dunbeath and across Highland.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Dunbeath
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Common problems we fix in Dunbeath
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
