Bath Re-enamelling in Erbusaig
Bath re-enamelling in and around Erbusaig: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling in Erbusaig, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
FAQs for Erbusaig
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Erbusaig?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IV40 postcode.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Highland.
What affects the price in Erbusaig
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Erbusaig. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Erbusaig
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
