DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fort William
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Fort William
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Fort William and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Fort William?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.

Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
